Hoyleton Youth & Family Services is one of only 12 CARE-certified agencies in the United States, and the only one serving youth in the Midwest. CARE certification is granted to social services agencies, by Cornell University, that meet the Residential Child Care Project's Highest Standards for Implementation of the Child and Residential Experiences (CARE) Program Model.
CARE is a trauma-informed practice model based on six core principles that create successful outcomes for children and families. The aim of CARE is to bring our current practice closer to well-researched best practices with children and families impacted by trauma. The CARE model is recognized as our agency compass, it guides our interactions with youth, families, and staff as well as our policies, procedures, and decision-making.
